==Personal life==
Nikki has voiced opinions on [[rape culture]] following the [[Brock Turner]] case,<ref name="Romano">{{cite web|last1=Romano|first1=Nick|title=Channing Tatum on Stanford rape case: 'Rape culture is a very real thing'|url=http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/25/channing-tatum-stanford-rape-brock-turner-cosmopolitan|website=EW.com|accessdate=5 July 2016 |date=25 June 2016 |quote=Tatum joins the likes of Lena Dunham and Comedy Central’s Nikki Glaser, who’ve spoken out about rape culture in light of the Stanford case.}}</ref> suggesting [[Aaron Persky]] should be a synonym for [[rape apologist]].<ref name="Bacle">{{cite web|last1=Bacle|first1=Ariana|title=Nikki Glaser slams Stanford rape case judge on Not Safe|url=http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/20/not-safe-nikki-glaser-stanford-rape-case|website=EW.com|accessdate=5 July 2016}}</ref> She said she quit drinking before 2013 and doing so made sex awkward, as she had relied upon being intoxicated to make it less awkward.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Coates|first1=Tyler|title=Comedian Nikki Glaser on Sex, Sobriety, Flemish, and More Sex|url=http://www.maxim.com/entertainment/nikki-glaser-interview-2016-3#!|website=Maxim.com|accessdate=5 July 2016 |date=22 March 2016 |quote=I didn’t realize how awkward we were with sex until I quit drinking over four years ago. We rely on alcohol to have sex so much. Everyone does. Often in my standup I ask people in the audience who has had sex with someone for the first time when they were stone-cold sober? No one can ever say that they’ve done it! It doesn’t happen! It’s because it’s so uncomfortable, and it’s such a weird thing to do. When I got sober, part of it was because I was having relationships that were based on getting drunk because I couldn’t be intimate with someone unless I was fucked up...I had to get inebriated to do it! And then I’d get into these relationships where I had to be drunk to have sex, and there was no real relationship there. }}</ref>
